Long time lurker 1st time poster....

Considering replacing a 40+ indoor oil tank preventatively with an
outdoor Roth dw tank. Roth height is an issue for current indoor location.

Currently no leaks - wanted opinions on condition of under tank pictures.

see links.
Thanks,

    Roth does make a tank that is 54 inches high. Your tank does look questionable but, it might just be paint coming off.
    Kinda hard to tell with the pictures and not being there.

    40 years? Definitely time for a replacement.

    Advice 1 get a licensed company to do it.Dont tackle it by yourself it can turn into a big mess.Company will come cut tank suck out oil squegee tank and clean it then cut it up and remove if necessary.You also get paperwork.
